If you find Data, Relic or Gas sites and you are in Bravo or Cake, bookmark them all in the Wormhole Community corp bookmarks folder using the [[WHC Bookmarking Scheme]]. In any other system, only bookmark wormhole connections. ''The only exception to this are Vital and Instrumental Gas sites in C5 and C6 systems, as these contain the expensive gas that we often like to huff.'' | ||
* The only things you need to bookmark on grid are wormholes, every other signature should be bookmarked from the scanner window. This is especially important for gas and ore sites because as soon as you initiate warp to them, they become "activated" which starts the Sleeper spawn timer. | * The only things you need to bookmark on grid are wormholes, every other signature should be bookmarked from the scanner window. This is especially important for gas and ore sites because as soon as you initiate warp to them, they become "activated" which starts the Sleeper spawn timer. | ||
* Besides bookmarking, it is also important to add each signature's "Type" and "Info" to the mapper. If this is | * Besides bookmarking, it is also important to add each signature's "Type" and "Info" to the mapper. If this is Bravo or Cake, enter both the "Type" and the "Info" and in any other system only the "Type" is needed. This means that you only have to get a 25% hit to get the "Type" if you're not in Bravo or Cake. C5 and C6 Gas sites need to be scanned down to at least 75% so that the exact site info is known (and can be added to the mapper) and should it be a Vital or Instrumental, then it is necessary to scan it down to 100% so you can also bookmark it. | ||
* ''Note on "claiming" new wormhole connections:'' if you scan down a new wormhole connection, immediately warp to it and show info on it (which will tell you where it leads). Then check the mapper to see what the next system should be called (based on whether it leads to high/low/null sec or w-space) and announce that you are claiming this new system or chain (in mumble, fleet chat or both). This lets other scouts know that you are "reserving" the system name or chain and prevents having duplicate names in the mapper. | * ''Note on "claiming" new wormhole connections:'' if you scan down a new wormhole connection, immediately warp to it and show info on it (which will tell you where it leads).
